Where do I enter CMD line prompts for MavensMate for Windows?

Question

I have recently started using MavensMate as a replacement for Eclipse with the Force.com IDE.

The MavensMate docs have a bunch of helpful CMD line prompts, I'm pretty new to Sublime and I don't know all it's ins and outs...

Where do I enter these prompts?

Is there a special Sublime / MavensMate CMD line I can access through Sublime?

Do I just enter them in my regular CMD line and if so, do I navigate the folder into which I downloaded Sublime or MavensMate?

I'm hesitant to start firing commands off in my CMD line in the wrong folders in case I cause some irreversible damage.

UPDATE

To be clear, I'm looking to enter Command Line Prompts and not MavensMate Shortcuts.

Most commands should be run from within your project's directory. Non-project specific commands can be run from anywhere.

Example of a non-project specific command (opens up new project UI):

mm new-project --ui

Example of a project-specific command (compiles project):

cd path/to/your/project
mm compile_project

Example of piping data to a command (compiles a series of files):

cd path/to/your/project
mm compile <<< '{"files": ["path/to/some/apex/class.cls"]"}'

The most comprehensive resource, as of my writing this, for examples of commands/payloads is the mm test suite. You can run all tests for mm by cd'ing to the mm root and running:

python test --api=31.0

This will produce output like this for every command in the test suite:

[new_project] ------->

[STDIN] -->

{"username": "someusername@force.com", "project_name": "unit test project", "package": {"ApexClass": ["CompileAndTest"]}, "org_type": "developer", "action": "new", "password": "somepassword"}

[STDOUT] -->

{
    "body": "Project Retrieved and Created Successfully",
    "body_type": "text",
    "success": true,
    "time": "4.19424295425415"
}

So, I use a Mac, and I'm sure this key-combo is slightly different but what you want to do is bring up the command palette. On a mac thats Shift-Cmd-P. Googling reveals it's control-shift-p on winders.

Once you open the command palette, you can start typing the name of the command you want to run ie: deploy, or apex class, or trigger etc. Select what you're looking for and hit enter. Doing so will cause Sublime to automatically run the command line for you.
